revset: inline isvalidsymbol() and getsymbol() into _parsealiasdecl()

Since I'm going to extract a common alias parser, I want to eliminate
dependencies to the revset parsing rules. These functions are trivial,
so we can go without them.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
